Shock to release new Placebo album

Shock is pleased to announce that it has secured the rights for the forthcoming Placebo album for Australia and New Zealand.

The as yet untitled album is the long awaited follow up to 2006's Meds. David Bottrill (Muse, Tool, Silverchair) will be taking charge in the studio. The new album is the first recording to feature new drummer Steve Forrest.

In what will be Placebo's first album release outside their former EMI worldwide deal, Shock will facilitate all sales, marketing and promotional components of the album release. Shock has well-established local in-house marketing and promotion teams covering radio, press, online and mobile and will develop fully managed marketing and PR campaigns in close consultation with Placebo.
